Blanche DuBois | Age range 30s
Raised with money but now destitute, she has just lost her teaching position in Laurel, Mississippi, because of her promiscuity.

Note: This role involves depicting intimate acts and scenes of sexual violence. 

Stanley Kowalski | Age range 30s
Ex-military, working at a factory, with a brutish demeanor and quick temper. His main drive in life is sexual. He is lean, vibrant, radiates energy; has dirt under his nails.

Note: This role involves depicting domestic violence and sexual assault. 

Stella Kowalski | Age range 20-30s
Fair, vivacious, sensual. She is Blanche’s younger sister and married to Stanley.
